La grande ASM e CFC! :star: :star: :star:

Sady Milan's way to championship is easier (at least on the paper) but let's hope one the them or winner of Porto-Lyon can kick also Milan to ass.

I've read that some of you think that Milan's way to win the CL is easier. :wth: Hello!?!?!? The better team qualify. Why should Arsenal/Real Madrid be better than Chelsea/Monaco??? They battled it out on the pitch and the better team qualify, simple as that. IMO, it doesn't make Milan's CL road easier whatsoever. Chelsea is a very good team, as good or even better than the Reals and the Arsenals of this world. Like Antti said, it's only on paper that Milan's road look easier. It's a different thing on the pitch.

Chelsea :finger: The only good thing about Chelsea`s win was that Arsenal didn`t win.

Monaco :star: :star:

Real :dielaugh: Only crappy teams need defenders, right?

I hope Porto will go all the way and win but it looks very likely now that Milan will win the CL :( I don`t understand how some of you can support Milan because it`s good for Italy or something? Who cares about that?

Well, Monaco and CFC beat Madrid and Arsenal this time but you can't just think about that. No matter what results were yesterday I think that Madrid is better than Monaco and Arsenal is better than CFC. You really can't say much about teams common superiority on ground of 180 minutes game. If Madrid and Monaco (or CFC and Arsenal) played for example 1800 (10 matches home and 10 away) minutes game and Monaco scored more goals than Madrid I would enough basis to say that Monaco is better than Madrid. ;)

So, in the other words I believe that Madrid or Arsenal would have had better chanches (higher probablity) to beat Milan. But let's remember that it doesn't mean CFC and Monaco have no changes to do it. :)

I disagree. On basis of superstars level, yes, Real Madrid may be better than Monaco. But Monaco has a very balanced team and they play good football as well. Evra, Squilacci, Ibarra, Rothen, Plasil, Cisse, Giuly, Morientes, Prso etc etc; these players have performed superbly in this season's CL campaign. Maybe they're not as good as the Galacticos but on recent form and on the balance of the team, they're better.

I don't think Arsenal is better than Chelsea but I don't think Chelsea is better either. I think both team are on equal terms. Chelsea has a massive squad depth that it'll enable them to pick the most fit player of the bunch to play the match whereas Arsenal (like last night) may have to risk not-fully fit players. Arsenal though have the advantage in terms of continuity.

Great post there Han....

I wouldnt believe its easier for Milan...havent u guys learned anything from last night...The smaller teams are inspired and are leading a revoultion this year in the CL...It will be one of the others that win the CL and a new king will reign over Europe...Milan still has Porto,which by all means is a team side with a great coach that knows how to handle things...Plus Milan arent playing that well as of late(i know that can change in seconds)But ur underestimating Porto and the winner of Chlesea and Monaco...both whom have good coaches that know Milan very well.

Todays games..

Deportivo-Milan
Lyon- Porto.


I will be supporting Deportivo although it wont make much difference but lets hope some Milan players get exhausted in that one or if we are lucky slight injuries to make them loose their next matches.
In the second i am ofcourse with Porto who lead it by 2 goals...and who really have a nice team and a good coach.

Well Porto is leading 1-0

And the great news is that Lyon is leading 1-0 too so maybe there is another iracle in the works...Lets hope that Milan run out of comebacks though. ;)
